September 17, 2019

Scott Goodrich, a former longtime Five Guys Burgers & Fries executive, has been tapped to serve as COO and partner in King Street Advisors, the newly formed consultant group at Fransmart.

Goodrich previously served as regional director and vice president of franchise operations for Five Guys Burgers & Fries, and over eight years helped grow the brand from 25 units to over 1,200 throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 2013, he created a restaurant consulting company, WSGC LLC, and successfully consulted several franchisee groups to grow operations, revenue and store acquisitions, according to a press release.

"No other restaurant franchise has done what Five Guys Burger & Fries has done in the last 10 to 15 years," said Dan Rowe, CEO of Fransmart and partner in King Street Advisors, in the release. "If you want the success like Five Guys, then you need to follow their lead — success leaves clues. We are fortunate to have Scott as a partner in King Street and look forward to the value he will provide for our brands."
